Omg I wanna see the Scarlett so bad lol I want to see the design!!!!
It's going to be so good to have full backwards compatabilty at launch.
Yeah, I think Lockhart coming around a year after the next-gen launch makes a lot of sense. The people that are buying in the first year are the enthusiasts, and that probably continues into the second year too. Having a lower priced entry point maybe a year in could help to convert those users that generally wait for prices to come down earlier than usual.
Having said that, I don't think that's what MS will do. I think they'll believe there's value in having choice on day one.
It's up to the developers to use the added power. But yes, of course the 2 areas you mentioned will see improvements next-gen.So it sounds like we'll get higher framerate and res but will we also get better physics and AI?
I'm trying to try and figure out how they can price so many console options and not confuse general consumers who only know about products via ads.
Like I'm a general customer for the switch. I really don't know much about the internals and etc to maximize the machine if purchased. I go off ads and where it can be cheapest atm. I need ads to drive my purchase for the switch vs for the ps/xbox I'm doing research outside of ads.
Got it. I want to see more stuff like the water in Sea of ThievesIt's up to the developers to use the added power. But yes, of course the 2 areas you mentioned will see improvements next-gen.
Totally agree.Yeah, I think there's a chance of confusion if there are two different models on launch day. It's a bit different from last gen launching with two different SKUs of the same machine.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see, but I really think a delayed Lockhart launch would be a really smart move.
Yoi'll receive Scarlett, start it up - and instantly have your games library filled with experiences from 4 generations including Scarlett ready waiting there for you. Isn't that ... Awesome?
Supporting 100's of variable pc specs is already a thing. 2 consoles won't be tough when the only intended difference is resolution/ray tracing.

You were waiting to use these weren't you! little sneakkkkyyyyy
Might be dead on arrival at that price point.
Joking aside I do really hope the Crackdown IP isn't dead. Crackdown 3 had it's fair share of development issues and fair share of car shaped gameplay faults, but I enjoyed it. I still enjoy it from time to time, dipping back in and finding a few more orbs when I've got nothing else to do. I honestly even hope Sumo does the next game, if there is one.
Let them take what they got right about 3, spend more time on the world and the story, and maybe make the driving feel like something other than ass.
I always liked the idea of a cheaper console for mass adoption.
Only question is how does a Lockhart at (299$?) and Xbox One X also at 299$(Fall 2020) co-exist with similar ranges of performance (4k/1440p 30 &1080p 60) ?
It will have a ssd and a new cpu. It will be a lot more powerful than the X. Doubt they can get that under $300 at launch. Probably $400 for the cheaper scarlett model and $500 for the high end model.
I'll be more than happy to be wrong but MS has never really priced a device at an obvious price that would be a hit. I expected the One X to come in at a strong $399 but they didn't. I can't imagine them doing it now.
Why would you think that. They continually stressed a premium device. I expect Lockhart to be $100 cheaper than the anaconda. So if anaconda and PS5 are $499, I expect it to be $399 and same if the other two are $399I'll be more than happy to be wrong but MS has never really priced a device at an obvious price that would be a hit.

People are so stupid this shit literally happens every gen, there is no way Microsoft would release two different Xbox's at launch. It won't make any sense, i feel like i'm taking crazy pills reading what people type. Is Lockhart in development/planned? YES.
But it is not going to launch at the same time as Scarlett, it will launch a few years into next gen just like the Xbox One SAD did. There were rumors of a diskless xbox one coming since before the Xbox One Reveal and every year until it finally launched in 2019.
This isn't really the same as Xbox One S All Digital lol, Lockhart is a lower cost next gen console that's less powerful it makes perfect sense, they can have both the expensive console and cheap console. Anaconda will meet the PS5 specs and price. Lockhart is targeted towards a market that doesn't care about power and cares more about price and value.People are so stupid this shit literally happens every gen, there is no way Microsoft would release two different Xbox's at launch.

So we agree hahaWhy would you think that. They continually stressed a premium device. I expect Lockhart to be $100 cheaper than the anaconda. So if anaconda and PS5 are $499, I expect it to be $399 and same if the other two are $399
